THE FIRST AND UNIQUE PAIN TREATMENT CENTER WITH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AT “ACIBADEM SISTINA”

A new and unique Pain Treatment Center with a multidisciplinary approach, being the only one of its kind in our country and opened for the first time in this healthcare institution, has been put into operation at Acibadem Sistina Hospital. The Pain Treatment Center enables patients, through a personalized treatment plan by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, to obtain appropriate pain relief therapy, an accurate diagnosis, and thus a solution to their problem at one place. What makes this center unique is the advantage that it offers the possibility of performing interventional procedures, minimally non-invasive and invasive procedures at the day hospital and inpatient treatment. In the treatment of patients who will be admitted to this center and treated with a multidisciplinary approach, specialists from several fields are involved, such as: an oncologist, an anesthesiologist, an interventional radiologist, a neurologist, a traumatologist-orthopedic, a physiatrist and a psychiatrist.

“I have been dealing with this problem for many years and I have the impression that patients suffering from pain wander through the system; hence our idea was to create this center where, in addition to finding a way to relieve the patient, using a team and organized approach to the treatment, to detect the cause of the pain and do the treatment. Acibadem Sistina Hospital provides all specialties, necessary for operating such a center, at one place including a modern, most advanced technology and highly qualified staff,” says Dr. Tatjana Spirovska, a specialist in anesthesiology and resuscitation.
